Dex snapped out of his dreamlike reverie. “Go where?”
“Sweden. For the holidays.”
He opened and closed his mouth…once, twice. “Sweden?”
“I think so. For a little while.” I rubbed my palms and stepped into the hall. “Are you hungry? I can make us something to eat.”
“No, I—you’ll be here, right? When the baby comes?”
“I promised, so—yes.”
Dex frowned. “Viggo?”
“Hey…c’mere.” I pulled him into my arms and kissed his temple. “You’re going to be an amazing dad. You won’t need me.”
He stiffened and slowly pushed away. “That’s not true.”
“Dex…”
“Do you think there’s a way we can still…”
I squinted as if staring at something in the distance. “I don’t think so. Complicated, remember?”
His Adam’s apple slid theatrically in his throat. “Yeah.”
I set a hand over his neck and licked his lips. “Shh. It’s going to be okay. We still have time. Kiss me,älskling.”
We made out against the wall in a desperate tangle of tongues as if we could shut out any hint of sadness with something infinitely more pleasant.
Passionate kisses gave way to something more sensual. I bent my knees and pressed my cock against his, grinding madly as I slipped my hand into his briefs to cup his perfect ass. I wanted to get closer, and there were just too many layers in between.
Dex pulled away, panting. “My room.”
We stripped along the way, and soon were naked in his bed—Dex’s mouth on my cock, my fingers in his hole. He begged for more. And more. But he stopped me as I reached for a condom.
“You want to fuck me?” I asked, furrowing my brow. We hadn’t tried that yet. It wasn’t my preference, but I’d do it…for Dex.
“Maybe another time, but no…I want you. I just…no condom. I haven’t been with anyone but you in months and I test regularly and God, I want to feel you.”
Oh. Fuck.
I tossed the condom aside and pounced, sealing our mouths hungrily.
He held his legs open as I guided my cock to his entrance and pushed. It was glorious. Beautiful. The kind of beauty that rocked worlds and changed landscapes. I moved slowly as if this were a new fragile thing. I savored his tight body with every push andpull, every thrust, every brush of his lips, and every sigh till we reached a point of no return.
Dex came first, but I was right behind him, roaring like a beast, spilling cum inside him.
To be honest, I was a little shaken in the aftermath…with good reason. It was so obvious now. This wasn’t just sex, and Dex wasn’t just a short-term fling I’d forget within a few months.
Though I’d never admitted it, he was everything I’d ever wanted…at the wrong time.
CHAPTER 31
VIGGO
This was a first. I’d never been to a baby shower in my life. I’d thought they were small parties for expecting mothers, but this was a coed affair. Lots of men, women, and children…and even a couple of dogs.
I bent to pet Silas and Cooper’s Labs, Max and Marly, if only to escape the commotion for a moment.
